WHO ARB RESPONSIBLE t The ion mot of tome one uf the humorous writer of tb day, " : that "the re why the Booth la as represented ii beciiuc it ha bse esHprenented," i bo epitome of tlx whol troth in tbe case.

The Suitli wearied, exhausted, orur-thrown, earnestly longed for peace, rest and a return to the al kgianoa which it bait vainly sought to throw ol Convinced, by the severest demount i a tion, of tba futility ol iU resistance, it ,tood ready to look its former antagonist laavely la the lace, and say, with perlect waadencc In the success of the appeal, "we bsve fought, yen bare rancjuished, let us b fnendt again.'' Tb North, aghiw with triumph, eould well afford,' aud was appar ently disposed, to be magnanimous. be sides, every legislative, executive and public utterance, pending the war, had olctnnly aasertad Its object, on tlio part ot the government, to lie solely to com pel the insurgent State to rume their allegiance. No one dreamed, lor a lev. months after tbe close of the struggle, that there could be any longer delay in re-adjusting the machinery than was preacrilied iu the plan of Preaident Johnson. It waa just st this time that a set of reckless men in the South began, for the worst and most selfish purposes, to seek to revive prejudice and prolong agitation, feeling that they had forfeited the confidence of their fellow cili wni by a long course of duplicity, culmina ting in open treachery, and perceiving no opportunity, in tbe future, ol regaining that cunndence, they poisoned the sir with the uuat talsa and wicked fabrications ol per station to Union and colored men. It was perhaps natural, nnder all the circumstances, that these stories should have found lodg ment I Ibeaanaf b people of the North, sad their acceptance waa unfortunately aided by a few such unforeseen occurrences a the riot ia New Orleans and at Memphis, the blame for which ia so well divided, proba bly, that it can be definitely laid to no par ucular class.. And so it la, the South, in it" present condition, pritiuirity owes all n trouble lo the en ceding malice, grow ing out f disappointed ambition, ol men v. bo were j born and raised In its own borders. The leaven baa worked, as all such leaven till work, although not one solitary well authenticated case of persecution of real Union men or nf Macka has ever been pre seated. Oa tbe contrary, every specific allc gstioa hat keen refuted. Thoae who have charged such persecution of I'nion -men sad black batrwtbemelea, . whcn pressed to the wall, been ignominioualy compelled to confess that that very persecution, so far as they (tbe Union men) were concerned, con sisted in charging tbem with being in lavor of granting the right of suffrage t that rrry hUtkt .' It ii Useless, perhaps, at this late day, to allude to these matters ; useless, perhaps, to argue that all classes in our midst are protected p their rights of person and property. One (ingle bestial caricature in that most depraved of all periodicals, Harper's Weekly, would do away the i flVct "f a thousand proven instances of justice, humanity or generosity. We assert, how ever, an far aa the State of North Carolina ii concerned, (and we believe that the same may be said of the South, generally.) that j'litiee, inJttribU jnitite, is as impartially' uuiiuistered with us, this day, as it is in any Slate North ot the Potomac. History will vindicate out character in all these respects, though we suffer in tile present. We con fess, however, that there is but feeble conso lation In Vvtf assurance. Ayrapm to these remarks : We see it stated that a highly respectable bite cilixea ia now lying in the jail of TslrfieldTHslrfct, SoulU Carolina, where he hat been since November, 180(1, and where be U condemned to remain until Novein r 1887, and to pay a fine of (.100, for th killing uf a black man, who, as it was Pfueed bj the testimony, was Bring on him Che while man) at the time he received hi Islal wound. And at the late term uf Orange Superior Court in this State, an aged anil Worthy citizen waa convicted of manalaiigh ter, and sentenced to pay a heavy tine, for 'be accidental killing ol a colored m oi. Such instances look as it, iu the exceeding anxiety of our Courts and people to avoid apiiearnnce of oppression or of making undae diacrimation, brfrrrt tht law, between be races, they bad actually carried their caul iou lo the prejudice, of the white man.

F. MOORE, ESQ. We find the following extract from a let ter of B. V. Moore, Esq , to a friend, in the last Old Xurth Stale, which deserves consideration. Tbef are very few men, it any, in the State,, who have maintained such consistency, a a I'nion man, aa Mr. Moore, and noue who, as such, have enjoyed to a greater extent the public coulidenee. With Mr. Moore, we have always held that the State had never leen out of the Union. Now, with him, we believe tbi best Ker-iiritv to peace and restoration is to yield to the tin equivocally expressed judgment of the "powers tlmt Ik" : Ibilcigh, N. V., March 1, 07.

Gem ral Duke was a participant in those Irving and memorable events which will ever be deep ly engraven upon the tablets of history.--There is much in the sorrow, gloom and humiliation which alien. led the flight of Mr. Dav is and the ruin of the Soul hern Con tederacy, in April, 1NI15, that reminds s ,.f the darkness and cloud behind wbiih the sun of Napoleon set al Fontainebleaii in March and April, 1H14 The Southern Confederacy lor a year or two haillieen sinking anil succumbing to the overwhelming forces arrayed against it, just as the French empire had previously been tottering to its fall. The Southern leaders found themselves in the Spring of 1S05 as Napoleon had likewise, in 114, at the head of An exhausted eople and an army that was so ruined and decimated that it could no longer make head against the overw helm ing strength of its enemies. What the war with Europe for twenty years hud done for JNapoleon, hail lieen accnmplistieil Hy the four year contest the South had so bravely waged agninst the almost inexhaustible re sources ot the Federal Government. The evacuation of Richmond was like the sur render of Paris. The capitulation ol Iee, win, with his feeble but gallant army, had so long stood between the Confederacy and destruction, was, in its effects, like the ca pitulation of Marshal Marmont in France. The leaders who surrounded Napoleon were truck with horror at these calamities, just as the government of President Davis was appalled when they saw the yawning chasm that had oencd beneath their feet. In the feelings consequent upon these melancholy reverse Napoleon attempted to commit su icide, but Preaident Davis displayed much more fortitude and strength of will. He ws the but at the council board to yield up the fallen and ruined cause, and with distress and anguish unspeakable turned his horse toward the banks of the Mississippi, which lie was never destined to reach. The des pair, the terror, and the. gloom which acted upon the South at the close of this calami tous struggle, in which they had been simply worn out before soperinr numbers, was great er than in France in 1814, although the lat ter had the Cossacks and other northern barbsrians at their very gates. The distress, the horror, and consternation w hich ensued at tbe apparent subjugation, have had, as event prove, too much reason lor ttieir in spiration. Tlie events which have lam transpiring at Washington for the Inst two or threeears prove 1 tint the conquerors are neither wise, just, nor humane, and have not the least idea that am pi. lit ol their victo ry shall go to wan I shiiiiil.' uiiional p. ice and unity in the lutim . The veiiiv of the Cossack was tetulei ii'.i.v to France, compared with the cruel einiuiiities which are now being inllicted upon tin South h their old partners and ass.,, iati-s in pasl na tional glory and prosperity - I From the Nuliaim! no lli.;i n.-er.
